Hi there,
I am wondering if you would post this very informative document to the Parents of Teens. It
gives all us parents and Teens the info.they need to know about the Law. I went to a Berkeley
High School
parent education event where a former Public Defender in Contra Costa County spoke about
all these issues and she referred all parents to this document.
Anyway, I think it would be a great resource for parents and kids.
Thanks
Donna

I am looking for a teen-friendly class for my 15 year old
on all the laws that ''govern'' teen behavior (curfews,
tobacco, alcohol/marijuana possession, etc.), and what
actually happens if they get caught violating those laws.
We're doing our parenting thing, but he really wants to
operate in the ''real'' world, and I think he might embrace
his rights/responsibilities more if he learned about them
from someone with experience/expertise.(I'd like to take a
parent version of the class, too, so I know the laws!)
Thanks.

The California State Bar publishes a summary of California
laws that affect teens. Ask your high school counselor or
government teacher for a copy, or call the state bar in
San Francisco. (415) 982-1600.
